E3 2018: Ubisoft announces Trials Rising for Switch, launching in February

For the first time on a Nintendo console

Ubisoft has announced during their E3 Presentation that a new game in their popular dirtbike stunt series, Trials Rising, will be coming to all modern platforms, including the Switch.

Trials Rising will have you racing, flipping, crashing and exploding at iconic locations all around the world. Up until now, the series has never been on a Nintendo console, so this will be a very nice addition to the 2019 lineup. It’s scheduled to launch in February.

THE MOST AMBITIOUS TRIALS

Trials Rising is a stunning comeback of the acclaimed gameplay with all new features, more competition and fresh visual look. With more tracks than ever before, beginners are in for a smooth ride towards mastery, while the skills and nerves of experienced players will be put to the test in the most advanced challenges. This is Trials at its best.

COMPETITION IS EVERYWHERE

Competition is all over the globe with fun and elaborate tracks located across several continents. Whether it’s finding the perfect line in a smoldering caldera in the wilds of Yellowstone Park, doing triple backflips off the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or navigating massive drops on Mount Everest with snow storms looming, the thrills are endless.

START SMALL, DREAM BIG

From local backyard competitions to the biggest stadiums on the world stage, you will ride against other players as fully visualized ghosts or in real-time local and online multiplayer. Starting from humble beginnings, you’ll improve your skills, grow your fame and rise in the ranks as you beat the competition. Sponsors such as Fox Racing Gear, KTM and RedLynx are always on the lookout for new talent and will offer contracts to complete special challenges.

COMMUNITY POWERED CUSTOMIZATION

Players will now have the freedom to customize and share any outfit or bike skin they want, resulting in endless possibilities. In addition to the outfit and bike customization editor, the legendary Trials Track Editor comes back bigger than ever.

TANDEM BIKE – WHEN TWO BECOME ONE

Trials Rising adds an exciting new multiplayer mode with the Tandem Bike. Two riders, each contributing fifty percent of the power and balance, ride together on one bike. Get ready for the unexpected and for hilarity to ensue!
